- A constitutive model is presented, considering grain size refinement through continuous dynamic recrystallization together with an evolving dislocation density. The grain refinement is allowed to influence both the evolution of the dislocation density and the rate dependence of the material. The model is calibrated against experimental data on aluminum and numerical simulations of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) material processing illustrates the capabilities of the model.

- Aqueous solutions of lactose and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were spray dried in a Buchi Model 191 spray dryer with the aim to investigate the effect of PEG on the crystallinity of the composite. A PEG concentration of 10.7% by weight of solids was studied for PEG 200, 600, 1500, 4000 and 8000. For PEG 200 and 4000 additional concentrations from 1.5-19.3% to 1.5-32.4%, respectively, were investigated. The spray dried composites were analysed with X-ray powder diffraction and modulating differential scanning calorimetry. The crystallinity of lactose in the composites varied from 0% to 60%, dependent on the molecular weight and concentration of PEG. Apparently, lactose crystallinity is promoted by low molecular weight and high concentration of the PEG. PEG did not affect the lactose glass transition temperature. It is suggested that lactose and PEG are solidified separately during spray drying and that partial crystallization of lactose is associated with effects of PEG on the rate of drying.

Simulation of Nanoindentation Response of Empty and Filled Viral Capsids
- 2009

Ingår i: DCE Technical Memorandum. - 1901-7278. ; 11

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The nanoindentation response of empty and filled viral capsids is modelled using three dimensional finite element analysis. Simulation with two different geometries, spherical and icosahedral, are performed using the finite element code Abaqus. The capsids are modeled as non-linear Hookean elastic and both small and large deformation analysis is performed. Force-indentation curves for three different viral capsids are directly compared to experimental data and the Young’s modulus is determined by calibrating the force-indentation curve to data from atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments. Predictions are made for two additional viral capsids. The results from the simulation showed a good agreement with AFM data, see [1].
